Crowds are the platform of this hidden language where each person is like a player in a game all these individuals morphed into a solid block that I had to navigate around one sound becomes a waterfall made out of needles and screeching chairs. How other people spend hours in town I can't comprehend as I spend most of my time trying to find a safe place within this battlefield of noise and sweaty bodies.
